Planting plants sucks

Damn it.

Why can't things grow faster? You plant a tree and wait for decades for it to grow, unless of course you happen to die meanwhile. Even silly flowers take too long. I wish there were something you could spray on the seed to quicken the growing process by...well, a lot.

Stupid plants. I'm glad we can chop them and stomp on them. And then they die! HAHAHAHAHA! What really sucks though is that if we kill them, we die too.

I heard once that most of the oxygen we breathe comes from seaweed at the bottom of the ocean. So if you ask me, kill all you want.

if you wwant fast growing plants, plant some bamboo, some grow so fast that if you have a time lapse function on a video camera and set it to take pictures every ten minutes, you will see slow growth after a day of growing.

Yeah, but all the forests suck up exces carbon from the atmosphere like you wouldn't believe

The seaweed has to breathe, too. I'm sure it goes through pretty much the same process, therefore if it exhales the most oxygen I would guess it inhales the most carbon dyoxide, too.

Actually, it's not the seaweed. It's the algae. That's what I was taught in school anyway.

Plankton create something like 94 per cent of all breatheable oxygen. That's what I was taught in Biology, but I'm skeptical.

Trees cool the air more than 4 airconditioners running all year, they suck up toxins and spit out fresh oxygen, and they just make the air seem much more pleasant overall. Trust me.

So, what, are you venting all your anti-botanical anger you have pent up inside? Mabye I should do that. I hate stupid plants! They take forever to grow and get eaten by bugs that obviously live just for your plant even though these particular pants havent grown here since the begging of time! The particular bugs you hate never attack any other kind of plant! Alos, the one stupid plant that survies die out of shear ornreyness any way! They take for ever to come up! MUST... KILL... ALL... PLANTS...
Whoa! I feal so.. so.. refreshed. Thanks man.

Yup, I believe that the net oxygen production of the world's rainforests is approximately zero, it's the Carbon Dioxide balance which is important.

I saw a picture once of a plant treated with some sort of growth hormone beside one that wasn't (they were the same type of plant). The one without the hormone was like 30 cm tall at most, and the one with it... well, there was someone on top of a step ladder getting leaf samples from the middle of the plant.

It's all about carbon sinks and the forests are the second largest carbon sink on the planet
